Film with applied laugher just make me so confident. I always know
when to laugh. It is so embarrasing to laugh at the wrong place. Don't you agree?

Been a while. Well things goes on in a rather tiresome non event fashion.
Put up some more pictures in the photo section. I really like the coulorful
autumn leaves one. Inventions, inventions, but this
one
is genious. A combustion engine with only two moving parts. Maybe this could
be combined with the high air pressure
car
that I mentioned earlier.

The Casio Camera is much better, thou more expensive. It has just
about all features you can think of (panorama, moviecapture, manual settings,
scenes settings, 8x optical zoom, 1cm macro etc etc). One problem is that the
contrast is a bit too strong (the manual adjustment
does not seem to have any real effect), and the pictures is maybe a little underexposed
per default.

Oups, May just gone... Well... Got tired of the HP camera. Bought
a Casio QV-2800UX instead. More fun...

The Human versus Technology race has begun. We run towards a future
of extreme technology and science. We are now digging deep into very dangerous
knowledge and doing this fast, perhaps a bit too fast... I sincerely hope we
have solved our own problems like greed, terrorism, power abuse before we invent
things we might loose control over. The day we are able to create autonomous
self replicatable robots it will just take one man to commit the ultimate crime
of releasing these to the ground. Let me just tell you how close we are. We
are now at the startingpoint to play God with existing life. Genetically modified
plants are spreading itself across the globe. To the amusement for laywers and
other legal establishments because the patent owner of the modified plant is
claiming royalties from the unaware farmers, and the farmers in turn sue the
owner for contamination of their seed. The computer development is accelerating
fast and computer capacity increases to almost doubling every year. We are also
facing breakthough computer technologies like extreme small molecular computers
and quantum computers that are millions of times faster and smaller then today.
The raw computional power of a normal computer will whithin 30 years pass our
own brain. Nanoscientists talk of their advances in atom assembly and preaching
their ulitimate goal of creating self replicating nanobots that will be able
to build just about anything atom by atom.

Now you tell me if we are in safewater here.

Would you trust goverment with these technology?
Would you feel confident if Saddam Hussein knew how?
Are you sure that we will not for one single time make any dangerous misstakes
when creating something that is autonomous and self replicating and maybe even
evolving?

Argh, I really want to hack this digitalcamera. When the light is
dim it has problem to focus properly. I need a manual focus too. Wonder if the
camera "os" is upgradable in any way... Unfortunatley I really don't expect
to get any relevant information from HP. Bummer...

A digital camera is more fun then a scanner ;) I've taken hundreds
of photos. It's a HP PhotoSmart c215, and it takes fairly
good pictures, at least for a $170 priced camera. Batteries was a consumerware
until I hacked together a rechargable external battery pack. It is a 6v 3600mAh
for a Sony digital camcorder and I've been running for two days now without
recharging. The problem was that the PhotoSmart can't take rechargable batteries
internally (they have some less voltage then alkaline batteries), so therefore
I made an external pack instead.

A scanner is fun! Hmm, I've been scanning lots of photos and stuff.
I bought one this week, and these are cheap nowdays, something like $100, and
still work extremly well. Hmm I'm waiting for a digital camara to arrive too.
Maybe I will put out some pictures here soon...

He's a Jehovah's Witness, and is handing out Watchtower
and Awake!, their paper. Wonder how it is possible to be so persistent in what
he's doing. He was very happy to give me one copy. It's mostly about the Kingdom
of God and their Bible and that we should wake up now. It does also cover some
intresting topics about birds and seals, and that we should care about these.

He's back... The paperman in Stockholm subway that is. He is a well
known person to most of the central subway travelers here. He has been absent
for a few days and I was starting to get worried. I think he's from India. Most
of the time carrying cool black sunglasses waving his paper of some kind. I
really wonder what it is, must check someday.

I saw Powder, a film with Sean Patrick Flanery. Very insightful about
the human race, lack of human love, technology and being diffrent from others.
Recommended with a weepwarning.

I've quit my job at Tripnet. Now I'm heading down to Spain, and hopefully
a warmer climat. Then I would like to travel around the world for a while.

Wow, why is'nt there more films like The Sixth Sense. Impressive,
and it's all due to the actors stunning performance and a genious director.
I almost start to cry by just thinking of it. I must see it again.

God... life really sucks now.

Had a night visit from my catfriend. It's a big brown-grey striped
cat, very friendly, and he purrs allmost all the time. It's not my cat or so,
but sometimes he seems to be just waiting and simply insists to get in and slips
through the door when I arrive at home. So usually I just give in and thinks,
well, what the heck, make your self at home then... He sure does that by almost
throwing himself at the first carpet in the hallway, purring so my whole apartment
vibrates. I can't for my life figure out what he likes to eat though, I've tried
milk, cream, butter, meatballs, hotdogs, meat whatever... But he just sniffs,
and looks at me very strangely like he tries to figure out what I mean by that,
and then just turns around. I wonder what a cat really thinks. Hmm, well, maybe
I should try some junk catfood from the localstore instead. You never know.

Watched Star Trek Insurrection yesterday evening. It's a really good
film. Wonder what would happen if humans would live for an eternity. Maybe we
finally would settle down and learn something valuable about our life like the
Baku people.

Why is the car window wiper only sold with a metal holder, when it's
only the 5c rubber part that usually needs to be replaced?
